Damn man, your thread took a different path than anticipated. Anyways, congrats on getting a GN for your b-day; hardwork always pays off. My parents did the same for me. I got a ton of heat from other individuals because I was driving around a brand new car when I was 18, I always had people saying **** behind my back. Just like you I worked my ass off and my parents gave me a sizeable chunk of change to put down as a downpayment. I got a GN when I got my drivers permit and 03' cobra when I was 18. I think the people that are hating on you don't have the same opportunities that you have. But don't sweat it and stay humble given your opportunities.
